DOI:10.31518/2618-9100-2018-1-11
This article uses the Soviet medical statistical data to determine the role and significance of social and natural factors in abnormally high mortality rate in Western Siberia during famine of the early 1930s. It is shown that social factors were dominant, but infectious diseases epidemic in the region (such as typhus, typhoid fever, measles, and scarlet fever) also played significant role. The author determines causes of high mortality among population of Western Siberia in 1933; shows prevalence of exogenous factors in the structure of mortality due to poor living conditions.
